The light of leaves

Chapter 311 The Change of Orochimaru
Five months later, Konoha.

On the busy street, there was a sudden gust of wind.

Passers-by looked at the two running upside down in the middle of the road with calm eyes.

"It starts again!"

"That guy is really full of energy! It's like a beast!"

"But I heard that Master Soseki is also inside."

"What, what? Master Soseki also... I know, Master Soseki must be worried that he will be excluded, so he did such strange things with him!"

"So that's how it is, Mr. Soseki is so gentle!"

Amidst these double-standard discussions, the two rushed to the finish line with all their might.

"Yeah! Let's burn our youth and rush to the finish line together!" A green figure ran wildly and shouted.

The figure next to him didn't speak, but his speed wasn't slow at all. He moved forward and backward, and the number one position was changing all the time.

In the end, the two crossed the finish line almost simultaneously.

"Phew! As expected of a senior!" Kai panted heavily, and said with sincere admiration, "Even if I try my best, I can only do this!"

"I should be the one to say that!" Soseki shook his head with a smile, "As long as I study hard, I have never lost, but in terms of physical skills, I have never been able to beat you!"

Although this may sound a little arrogant, Kai knows that for a senior, this is already considered modesty.

After all, the senior is a real genius!

"Hey! Even if the opponent is you, senior, I will never admit defeat!"

At this time, several people who had been waiting near the finish line gathered around.

Hong took the hand towel and wiped the sweat on Soseki's forehead like a little wife, "Thank you!"

Shizune served light salt water, "Soseki, are you thirsty? Would you like some water?"

"Thank you." Soseki smiled and took a sip of water, then looked at Kai who was alone and asked, "Kai, would you like a sip?"

"Okay..." Kai replied subconsciously, and then he sensed a terrifying killing intent, which made him tremble all over, and quickly changed his words, "Ha, haha, I don't seem to be thirsty anymore."

"You two really..." On the side, Asma complained, "You are still working so hard after the war is over!"

"It's better to say that we should work harder when the war is over!" Kai waved his arm vigorously, "I'm still too weak now!"

Soseki also nodded, "If I can be as strong as the first generation of adults, maybe I can deter the villages from starting wars easily!"

"Well, I can barely understand this." Asma pressed her forehead and asked weakly, "But why do you want to exercise with Kai? This kind of thing is really shameful!"

"Training the mind!" Soseki laughed, "If I can say what I think in my heart without any worries like Kai, my mind will definitely become stronger!"

"Huh?" Kai looked at Soseki in shock, "Senior, you think so?"

"sorry, I……"

Before Soseki could finish speaking, Kai shouted excitedly, "I didn't expect that I could also become the target of the senior. I'm so touched!"

Soseki was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, he was actually worried that he would hurt Kai's "fragile" heart.

"By the way, Kai, is it useful for me to teach you how to use body energy to feed back your body?"

Hearing Soseki's mention, Kai scratched his hair, "It seems to be useful, but I'm not sure."

"A method to specifically utilize body energy?" Asma muttered aside, "I heard from the old man that the warriors in the Iron Kingdom are like this."

"Samurai from the Iron Country?" Mizuki looked puzzled.

"Well." Asma nodded, "Those warriors can also use chakra, but most of them have poor qualifications for refining chakra, so they have developed a new way to use body energy."

"It's almost like this, but the order is wrong." Soseki shook his head slightly, "Before the appearance of chakra, the training methods of those samurai were the mainstream in this world!"

"Before Chakra appeared?" Asma stared, "Didn't Chakra exist from the beginning?"

"Compared to using physical energy alone, the chakra refining method that combines physical energy and spiritual energy is of course more difficult to find."

Asma didn't pay too much attention, "But anyway, this kind of exercise method was eliminated by Chakra, why did you suddenly remember this, Soseki?"

"On the one hand, not everyone has the aptitude to become a ninja. After all, it is much more difficult to perceive spiritual energy than to practice physical energy! If the efficiency of the method of exercising physical energy can be improved, maybe it can be found for those who are not qualified as ninjas. A new way out!"

After a pause, Soseki continued, "On the other hand, my various strengths have reached a peak. If I want to improve, I can only consider the physical aspect."

Asma opened her mouth, shocked by Soseki's invisible "forced air".

Except for physical strength, other aspects are already so strong that there is no way to improve, which is simply unimaginable to him!
Seeing Asma's sudden autism, Soseki didn't care, just looked at Kai and asked, "If there is any change, remember to notify me in time!"

Kai nodded vigorously, "I will!"

……

At night, in the laboratory.

Soseki sat up from the experimental bed, put on his coat casually, and covered his strong and fit upper body under the coat.

"Master Orochimaru, has the experiment progressed?"

Orochimaru slightly shook the reagent in his hand, and his voice was full of exclamation, "Although the changes are still very small, Soseki-kun, your body has indeed undergone some benign changes from the genetic level. This is really a remarkable improvement!"

Soseki nodded thoughtfully, "I'm really sorry for your inconvenience."

In terms of natural energy, there is a plug-in of dragon veins, and in terms of spiritual energy, there is a gift from a witch. His only shortcoming now is in terms of physical energy.

"It should be me thanking Soseki-kun!" Orochimaru smiled softly, "If you hadn't brought me this piece of demon flesh and blood, I would never have imagined that this kind of immortality that only exists in myths and legends actually exists!"

"If we can thoroughly study its mysteries, maybe we can really touch the realm of eternal life!"

"I don't want to live forever." Soseki shook his head and said, "As long as everyone can live longer and their bodies stronger, I'm satisfied."

"Soseki-kun's belief is really amazing!" Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh, "This is a loftier ideal than the first generation of adults!"

At this moment, Dou trotted in from the outside.

"Teacher, Hokage-sama is looking for you everywhere!"

"Looking for me at this time?" Soseki's complexion changed slightly, "Could it be?"

"Master Kushina has entered the delivery room!"
